Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION The information in this Operator’s Manual was written to give the owner/operator assistance in preparing, adjusting, maintaining and servicing of the Telescopic Handler. More important, this manual provides an operating plan for safe and proper use of the machine. Major points of safe operation are detailed in the SAFETY chapter of this manual.

Gehl Company asks that you read and understand the contents of this manual COMPLETELY, and become familiar with the machine before operating it.

This Telescopic Handler is primarily intended for use as a material handler. However, it may be equipped with an optional system: the Personnel Work Platform (PWP) System, which is intended for use when lifting personnel.

When there is no other practical option available, this machine, when equipped with the PWP System, is approved for use to lift personnel, but only with an approved work platform, with the PWP System activated, and in full compliance with the “Mandatory Work Platform Safety Rules” (see SAFETY chapter).

Refer to the seperate operator’s/parts manual for information related to the optional Radio Remote Boom Control System.

The use of this Telescopic Handler is subject to certain hazards that cannot be eliminated by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care and common sense. It is therefore essential to have competent and careful operators, who are not physically or mentally impaired, and who are thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the equipment and the handling of the loads.

Throughout this manual information is provided that is set in italic type and introduced by the word IMPORTANT or NOTE. Be sure to read carefully and comply with the message or directive given. Following this information will improve operating and maintenance efficiency, help to avoid breakdowns and damage, and extend the machine’s life. A chart of standard hardware torques is located in the back of this manual.

A storage pocket in the back of the seat is provided for storing the Operator’s Manual. After using the manual, please return it to the pocket and keep it with the unit at all times! If this machine is resold, this manual should be given to the new owner.

If this machine was purchased “used,” or if the owner’s address has changed, please provide your Gehl dealer or Gehl Company Service Department with the owner’s name and current address, along with the machine model and serial number. This will allow the registered owner information to be updated, so that the owner can be notified directly in case of an important product issue, such as a safety update program.

“Right” and “left” are determined from a position sitting on the seat and facing forward.

The wide Gehl dealership network stands ready to provide any assistance that may be required, including genuine Gehl service parts. All parts should be obtained from or ordered through your Gehl dealer. Give complete information about the part and include the model and serial number of the machine. Record the serial number in the space provided on the previous page, as a handy record for quick reference.

Please be aware that Gehl Company reserves the right to make changes or improvements in the design or construction of any part without incurring the obligation to install such changes on any unit previously delivered.

Gehl Company, in cooperation with the Society of Automotive Engineers, has adopted this

Safety Alert Symbol to identify potential safety hazards, which, if not properly avoided, could result in injury. When you see this symbol in this manual or on the machine itself, you are reminded to BE ALERT! Your personal safety is involved!

SAFETY Additional Safety Reminders

WARNING U.S. OSHA regulations require employers in general industry and the construction, shipyard and cargo-handling industries (excepting agricultural operations) to ensure that forklift operators are competent, as demonstrated by successful completion of a training course.

Â

User/operator safety practices, as established by industry standards, are included in this Operator’s Manual and intended to promote safe operation of the machine. These guidelines do not, of course, preclude the use of good judgment, care and common sense as may be indicated by the particular jobsite work conditions.

Â

It is essential that operators be physically and mentally fit, free of mind-altering drugs and chemicals and thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the machine. Such training should be presented completely to all new operators and not condensed for those claiming previous experience. Information on operator training is available from several sources, including the manufacturer.

Â

Some illustrations used in this manual may show doors, guards and shields open or removed for illustration purposes ONLY. BE SURE that all doors, guards and shields are in their proper operating positions BEFORE starting the engine.

The training course must consist of a combination of formal instruction and practical training, including both forklift-related and workplace-related topics, and evaluation of the operator’s performance in the workplace.

All operator training and evaluation is to be conducted by persons who have the knowledge, training and experience to train and evaluate operators.

Before Operation Safety Reminders

WARNING ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from electric power lines and avoid contact with any electrically charged conductor or gas line. It is not necessary to make direct contact with a power line for power to ground through the structure of the machine. Keep the boom and load at least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines.

Accidental contact or rupture can result in electrocution or an explosion. Contact the “Call Before You Dig” referral system number at 8-1-1 in the U.S., or 888-258-0808 in the U.S. and Canada, to locate any underground utility lines BEFORE starting to dig.

PRINTED IN U.S.A.

Â

Check brakes, steering, and hydraulic system prior to starting operation. Operate all controls to ensure proper operation. Observe all gauges and indicators for proper operation. If any malfunctions are found, correct the cause prior to using the machine.

Â

ALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective equipment for the job and working conditions.

Hard hats, goggles, protective shoes, gloves, reflector-type vests, respirators and ear protection are exampes of types of equipment that may be required. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing, long hair, jewelry or loose personal items while operating or servicing the machine.

Â

ALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards, obstructions and people. Remove all objects that do not belong in or on the machine and its equipment.

913328/BP0211

SAFETY Â

Walk around the machine and warn all personnel who may be servicing the machine or who are in the machine path prior to starting. DO NOT start until all personnel are clearly away from the machine.

Â

DO NOT exceed the machine’s rated operating capacity for the type of attachment tool being used.

Â

DO NOT use outriggers on soft or uneven surfaces. BE SURE the surface can support the machine and load.

Â

DO NOT allow minors or any unqualified personnel to operate or be near the machine unless properly supervised.

Â

DO NOT start the engine or operate any controls unless properly seated in the operator’s seat!

Â

DO NOT run the engine in an enclosed area without providing proper ventilation for the exhaust.

Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Internal combustion engines deplete the oxygen supply within enclosed spaces and may create a serious hazard unless the oxygen is replaced. This includes the atmosphere within the cab when equipped.

Â

DO NOT leave the operator’s station with the boom and attachment tool raised. ALWAYS lower the boom and attachment tool to the ground, shut off the engine and engage the parking brake before leaving the operator’s station.

Â

DO NOT drive too close to an excavation or ditch. BE SURE that the surrounding ground has adequate strength to support the weight of the machine and the load it is carrying.

Â

DO NOT turn quickly while traveling on a slope or operate the machine beyond the grade and slope limits noted in the Operation and Adjustments chapter of the Operator’s Manual.

Â

NEVER allow any riders on this machine. This is strictly a single-seat, NO-passenger machine

Operation Safety Reminders Â

Â

Any or all of the following elements may affect the stability of the machine: terrain, engine speed, type of load being carried and placed, improper tire inflation, weight of the attachment tool, and abrupt movement of any control lever. IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL WHILE OPERATING THIS MACHINE, ANY OF THE ABOVE FACTORS COULD CAUSE THE MACHINE TO TIP AND THROW YOU OUT OF THE OPERATOR’S STATION, WHICH MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH! ALWAYS wear the seat belt provided to prevent being thrown from the machine. If you are in an overturn: - DO NOT jump!

- Hold on tight and stay with the machine!

- Lean away from the fall!

Â

ALWAYS keep hands, feet and arms inside of the operator’s station when operating the machine!

Â

Always look in the direction of travel. Look to the rear before backing.

Â

ALWAYS use the recommended hand holds and steps with at least three points of support when getting on and off the machine. Keep steps and platform clean. Face the machine when climbing up and down.

Â

DO NOT raise or drop a loaded fork or bucket suddenly. Abrupt movements under load can cause serious instability.

Â

NEVER use as a lift for personnel unless the machine is equipped with the Personnel Work Platform (PWP) System.

Â

Study the load chart carefully. It shows maximum capacity to be lifted and placed at specific outward and upward distances. ALWAYS be aware of load weights prior to attempting lift and placement with this machine.

Â

When road travel is required, know and use the signaling devices on the machine. Provide an escort and Slow-Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem when required.

913328/BP0211

PRINTED IN U.S.A.

SAFETY Â

attempting to relieve pressure and remove the radiator cap. Failure to heed this warning could result in severe burns.

If necessary to park on a slope, park across the slope and block the tires.

Servicing Safety Reminders Â

ALWAYS be aware of and avoid pinch point areas on the machine, such as wheels-to-frame, cylinders-to-frame, boom and attachment tool-toframe.

Â

NEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start the engine. ONLY use the jump-starting procedure detailed in the Service and Storage chapter.

Â

Â

Â

Â

NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid leaks. Use a piece of paper or cardboard.

Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. If any fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor at once. Injected fluid MUST be surgically removed by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or gangrene may result.

ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields when striking metal against metal. In addition, it is recommended that a softer (chip-resistant) material be used to cushion the blow. Failure to heed could lead to serious injury to the eyes or other parts of the body.

Â

DO NOT loosen or disconnect any hydraulic lines, hoses or fittings without first relieving hydraulic circuit pressure. Also, be careful not to touch any hydraulic components that have been in recent operation because they can be extremely hot and can burn you!

Â

Avoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments with the machine in motion or the engine running. If the engine must be running to make certain adjustments, place the transmission in neutral, apply the parking brake, place the equipment in a safe position, securely block the tires and use extreme caution.

Â

To ensure continued safe operation, replace damaged or worn-out parts with genuine GEHL service parts before using this equipment.

Modifications, Nameplates, Markings and Capacities

DO NOT refill the fuel tank when the engine is hot. Allow engine to cool down before refilling to prevent hot engine parts from igniting the fuel if it should spill or splash.

DO NOT smoke while filling the fuel tank, working on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or working around the battery.

Â

Modifications and additions that affect capacity or safe operation must never be performed without the manufacturer’s prior written approval.

Where such authorization is granted, any applicable markings are to be changed accordingly.

Â

All attachment tools MUST be marked to identify the attachment tool and the total capacity with the attachment tool at maximum elevation with the load laterally centered.

Â

ALWAYS be sure all nameplates, warnings and instruction markings are in place and legible.

Local government regulations may require specific decals, which are the responsibility of the owner to provide.

Â

DO NOT fill the fuel tank completely. Allow room for expansion. Maintain control of the fuel filler nozzle when filling the tank. Use the correct fuel grade for the operating season.

Â

NEVER use fuel for cleaning purposes.

Safety Guards and Warning Devices

Chapter 6 OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS GENERAL INFORMATION

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE Before starting the engine and running the machine, refer to the Indicators and Controls chapter and become familiar with the various operating controls, indicators and safety features.

CAUTION BEFORE starting the engine and operating the Telescopic Handler, review and comply with ALL safety recommendations in the SAFETY chapter of this manual. Know how to STOP the machine before starting it. Also, BE SURE to fasten and properly adjust the seatbelt.

STARTING THE ENGINE

WARNING ALWAYS fasten the seat belt BEFORE starting the engine. Leave the parking brake applied until the engine is running and you are ready to operate the machine.

ENGINE BREAK-IN A new engine does not require extensive “break-in.”

However, for the first 100 hours of operation, follow these guidelines: Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes after every cold start. DO NOT idle the engine for long periods of time. DO NOT operate the engine at maximum power for long periods of time. Check the oil level frequently and replenish as necessary with the oil specified in the engine manual.

The following procedure is recommended for starting the engine:

John Deere engines use a “break-in” oil for the first 100 hours of operation. After the first 100 hours of operation, change the oil and replace the oil filter.

Consult the Lubrication chapter for the type and grade of oil to use. Refer to the Service and Storage chapter for the proper service intervals.

1.

Grasp the handholds and step up into the operator’s compartment.

2.

Adjust the seat and fasten the seatbelt.

3.

Check that all controls are in their “neutral” positions, except the parking brake switch, which should be in the “ON” position.

4.

Turn the key switch to the “ON” position and press the start button. If the button is released before the engine starts, turn the key switch to the “OFF” position, and allow the starter to stop before attempting to start again.

PRESTART INSPECTION It is the operator’s responsibility to inspect the machine before the start of each workday. Every prestart inspection must include more than simply checking the fuel and oil levels. It is a good practice to personally inspect any machine you are assigned to use, even though it has already been put into service by other personnel.

IMPORTANT: Crank the starter until the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 30 seconds, return the key to the “OFF” position, wait two minutes, and try again to start the engine.

Cranking the engine for longer than 30 seconds will result in premature failure of the starter.

The most efficient method of checking a machine is by conducting a “Walk-Around Inspection.”

5.

Before mounting the operator’s compartment, walk completely around the machine to be sure no one is under, on, or close to it. Let others in the area know you are going to start up. Wait until everyone is clear of the machine before starting it.

913328/BP0211

After the engine starts, allow a sufficient warm-up time before operating the controls.

NOTE: When the parking brake switch is pressed into the “OFF” position, the parking brake will remain applied until the travel lever is placed into either “Forward” or “Reverse.”

32

PRINTED IN U.S.A.

6.

Check that indicators are in normal condition.

7.

Check that there are no fuel, oil or engine coolant leaks, and no abnormal noises or vibrations.

Place the travel lever in Forward or Reverse and select a speed range. Switch off the parking brake and move ahead slowly, while testing the steering and brakes.

Stop and operate all boom, attachment tool functions and frame leveling controls, checking for smooth response.

COLD STARTING PROCEDURES The engine is equipped with a block heater. This block heater or other starting aid is required for starting in temperatures below 32°F (0°C). See your Gehl dealer for additional starting aids.

Apply the service brakes, stop the machine and move the travel lever to the opposite direction.

Shifting to the next higher gear may be done at any engine speed while the machine is in motion.

For proper use of starting aids, check the instructions in the engine manual.

DO NOT overspeed the engine when down-shifting.

Allow the machine to slow down before shifting to the next lower gear.

If the battery becomes discharged and has insufficient power to start the engine, jumper cables can be used for starting assistance. Refer to the jump starting instructions in the Service and Storage chapter of this manual for safe jump starting procedures.

ENGINE SHUTDOWN PROTECTION The engine is equipped with a WARNING and SHUTDOWN feature to warn of low engine oil pressure and high engine coolant temperature. If the problem is not corrected, the engine power will be reduced automatically, or the engine will shut down.

STOPPING The following procedure is the recommended sequence for stopping the machine: 1.

2.

Engine Oil Pressure

Bring the machine to a stop on a level surface.

Avoid parking on a slope, but if necessary park across the slope and block the wheels.

There are two low oil pressure protection features: Low Oil Pressure WARNING, and Low Oil Pressure SHUTDOWN.

Fully retract the boom and lower the attachment to the ground. Idle the engine for gradual cooling.

3.

Place controls in neutral. Apply the parking brake.

4.

Turn the ignition switch key to the “OFF” position. Remove the key.

5.

Unfasten the seatbelt, and grasp the handholds while climbing out of the operator’s compartment.

At the Low Oil Pressure WARNING set-point, the warning lamp in the engine override switch will flash and a slow engine power derate will begin. But if the oil pressure rises above the Low Oil Pressure WARNING set-point, power will slowly increase until the engine is back to full power. The lamp will continue to flash until the power has returned to normal, even if the fault condition has been corrected and the recovery is in process.

FIRST TIME OPERATION

At the Low Oil Pressure SHUTDOWN set-point, the lamp in the engine override switch will light continously, and a fast engine power derate will begin. If the oil pressure does not rise above the SHUTDOWN setpoint within 30 seconds, the engine will shut down.

However, if the oil pressure rises above the Low Oil Pressure SHUTDOWN set-point within 30 seconds, then the power derate speed will revert to the Low Oil Pressure WARNING speed of reaction.

Make sure the engine is warm, and then go through the following procedures:

CAUTION Be sure the area used for test-running is clear of spectators and obstructions. Initially, operate the machine with an empty attachment tool.

PRINTED IN U.S.A.

33

913328/BP0211

Engine Coolant Temperature There are two coolant temperature protection features: High Coolant Temperature WARNING, and High Coolant Temperature SHUTDOWN. At the High Coolant Temperature WARNING setpoint, the warning lamp in the engine override switch will flash and a slow engine power derate will begin.

But if the coolant temperature drops below the High Coolant Temperature WARNING set-point, the power will increase slowly until the engine is back to full power. The lamp will continue to flash until the power has returned to normal even if the fault condition has been corrected and the recovery is in process.

Attachment Tool

At the High Coolant Temperature SHUTDOWN setpoint, the lamp in the engine override switch will light continously, and a fast engine power derate will begin.

If the coolant temperature does not drop below the SHUTDOWN set-point within 30 seconds, the engine will shut down. However, if the coolant temperature drops below the High Coolant Temperature SHUTDOWN set-point within 30 seconds, then the power derate speed will revert to the High Coolant Temperature WARNING speed of reaction.

NOTE: The parking brake mechanism within the

To pick up the attachment tool proceed as follows:

front axle is NOT designed for, OR intended to be used as, the primary means of stopping movement of the machine. Hydraulic braking provided through the service brakes within the axles is the primary means for stopping movement. The axleby-axle split brake system is the secondary means of stopping movement.

1.

Raise the boom slightly, extend it two to three feet (600 to 900 mm) for better visibility, and tilt the Quick-attach System forward.

2.

Align the Quick-attach System squarely with the back of the attachment tool.

3.

Slowly extend the Quick-attach System and lower the hooks under the attachment tool hookup bar.

4.

Tilt the Quick-attach System back so that the lock plate engages the attachment tool. This secures the attachment tool to the Quick-attach System.

5.

For an attachment tool with auxiliary hydraulics, connect the hoses to the quick-disconnect connectors on the boom nose.

The proper sequence for correct machine operation is to always engage the parking brake switch before shutting off the engine; and to disengage the parking brake ONLY after the engine is running. In an EMERGENCY, if it becomes necessary to STOP movement, activate the parking brake switch to “ON.”

CHANGING ATTACHMENT TOOLS

Detaching

The Telescopic Handler boom nose will accept Quickattach System Gehl attachment tools. The Quick-attach System has a quick-release hookup and locking mechanism for mounting framing-type or masonry-type attachment tools to the boom nose.

until it has been restored to a safe operating condition.

4.

Operate the travel controls gradually and smoothly when starting, stopping, turning and reversing direction.

Grade and Slope Precautions The Telescopic Handler complies with industry stability test requirements and is stable when properly operated. However, improper operation, faulty maintenance, and poor housekeeping can contribute to a condition of instability.

DO NOT travel across a side hill that exceeds 18% or 10° grade. Regardless of the terrain or position of the wheels, the FRAME MUST BE LEVEL, as indicated by the level indicator on the ROPS/FOPS cross member. The attachment tool MUST be maintained at the “carry” position with the boom fully retracted, and attachment tool at minimum ground clearance.

When ascending or descending grades in excess of 5% or 3°, the machine should be driven with the load upgrade. An unloaded machine should be operated on all forward grades with the load handling attachment tool downgrade, tilted back if applicable, and raised only as far as necessary to clear the road surface.

The amount of forward and rearward tilt to be used is governed by the application. Although use of maximum rearward tilt is allowable under certain conditions, such as traveling with the load fully lowered, the stability of the machine, as determined by the industry standard tests, does not encompass consideration for excessive tilt at high elevations, or the handling of offcenter loads.

On grades, ramps and inclines, use extreme caution and avoid turning if possible. Normally travel straight up and down the slope.

WARNING

Only handle loads within the capacity limits of the machine, and which are stable and safely arranged.

When attachments are used, extra care should be taken in securing, manipulating, positioning and transporting the load.

DO NOT level the frame with the boom raised or extended. Only level the frame while stopped, and with the boom fully retracted and the attachment tool raised just enough to clear the ground.

Grade Limits Traffic Flow Patterns

NOTE: Grade limits are based on ANSI /ITSDF standard B56.6-2005.

Know and understand the traffic flow patterns of your jobsite. Know all Telescopic Handler hand signals for safety. Utilize signal persons and be sure you can see the signal person and acknowledge the signals given.

This telescopic handler meets or exceeds the safety standard (ANSI/ITSDF B56.6) stability limits for rough terrain forklifts. The stability tipping limits cover specific, controlled test conditions, which are extremes, and which are not intended to be achieved during normal worksite operations. The following specifications are provided only as information to the operator, and must not be used as a guideline for operating the Telescopic Handler. For safe operation, always follow the instructions and warnings provided in this manual.

1.

DO NOT place or retrieve loads on an up or down slope or grade that exceeds 7% or 4°.

2.

DO NOT travel up or down a grade or slope that exceeds 22% or 12° while loaded.

3.

DO NOT place or retrieve loads on a side hill with a slope or grade that exceeds 12% or 7°.

Regardless of terrain or position of wheels, the FRAME MUST BE LEVEL, as indicated by the level indicator on the ROPS/FOPS cross member.

913328/BP0211

Safety Hand Signals

36

PRINTED IN U.S.A.

Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, platforms and other similar working surfaces.

Safety Hand Signals Continued

Controlled lighting of adequate intensity should be provided in operating areas. Where operating conditions dictate, the operator/user is responsible for having the machine equipped with lights.

Provisions must be made to prevent trucks, semi-trailers and railroad cars from being moved during loading and unloading. Wheel stops, parking brakes, or other positive holding means must be used to prevent movement during loading and unloading.

DO NOT move railroad cars and trailers with the Telescopic Handler.

DO NOT use the boom and attachment for leverage to push the machine out of mud.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT lower boom at high engine speed when attachment tool is at maximum rearward tilt. Damage to slave cylinders may result.

GENERAL LOAD HANDLING NEVER operate controls except from the operator’s seat. NEVER jerk or use fast movements. Avoid sudden stops, starts and changes in direction.

Operation of the hydraulic system depends on engine speed and the distance the controls are moved. When operating these controls it is important to develop a technique called “feathering.” Feathering the control means starting the desired motion by moving the control a small distance away from neutral. Then after movement has started, the control can be eased to full travel. Use the same feathering technique to slow and stop the motion.

When ramps must be used in transporting loads with the machine, the following are the minimum widths for safe travel: Compacted dirt, gravel, etc.

Woodboard, concrete, etc.

12 ft. (3.6 m) 10 ft. (3.0 m)

Permanent aisles, roadways and passageways, floors and ramps must be clearly defined or marked.

Permanent or temporary protrusion of loads, equipment, material and construction facilities into the usual operating area must be guarded, clearly and distinctively marked, or clearly visible.

PRINTED IN U.S.A.

913328/BP0211

A typical load zone chart is shown on this page. The scale on the left indicates height in feet above the ground level. The scale on the bottom shows the distance in feet out from the front of the machine. The arc lines noted by the numbers “1” through “5” correspond with the boom extension marks on the operator side of the intermediate boom section.

WARNING Excessive speed can be hazardous. ALWAYS exercise caution and good judgement while operating the machine.

ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from electric power lines and avoid contact with any electrically charged conductor and gas line. It is not necessary to make direct contact with a power line for power to ground through the structure of the machine. Keep the boom and load at least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines.

Accidental contact with a power line or rupture of a gas line can result in electrocution or an explosion. Contact the “Call Before You Dig” referral system number at 8-1-1 in the U.S., or 888-258-0808 in the U.S. and Canada, to locate any underground utility lines BEFORE starting to dig.

The following example illustrates proper use of the load zone charts for the Telescopic Handler:

Example: The operator, using a standard carriage attachment tool without outriggers, wants to raise a 4000 lb. load 25 feet high, and can only get to within 15 feet of the load placement point. Can this be done within the capacity of the machine?

BOOM EXTENSION MARKERS

HEIGHT ABOVE GROUND

Keep all body parts inside the operator’s station while operating the machine. BE SURE of clearance for the attachment tool when turning, working around buildings, etc.

Turning corners too fast can tip the machine, or cause a load to slide off the attachment.

Sudden slowing or stopping of the machine may cause the load to drop off the attachment tool.

Be certain you can control both speed and direction before moving. Always place the machine in neutral and set the parking brake before raising or extending the boom. NEVER drive the machine up to someone standing in front of the load.

DISTANCE LOAD IS EXTENDED

NEVER leave the operator’s station without first lowering the attachment tool to the ground. Then set the parking brake, place controls in neutral, shut off engine and remove the key. AVOID parking the machine on a slope, but if necessary, park across the slope and block the tires.

Typical Load Zone Chart

Analysis: See “Typical Load Zone Chart” above.

Projecting up from the 15-foot reach mark on the horizontal axis to intersect a line through the 25-foot height mark on the vertical axis shows that a load up to 4000 lb. can be placed in that zone.

During placement, the operator should observe when the boom extension mark number “4” on the boom is visible and stop further extension. The operator knows the maximum safe extension distance with the 4000 lb. load has been reached.

Load Capacity and Reach This machine has flip-charts in the operator’s station that provide, at a glance, the load capacity limits at various positions of attachment tool extension and elevation. A set of the load zone charts is reproduced at the end of this manual for reference.

Load Elevation and Placement

WARNING

For ground level load placement, be sure the area under the load and around the machine is clear of equipment and personnel. Lower the load to the ground, tilt the forks to the horizontal position, and then carefully back away to disengage the forks from the load.

NEVER exceed the rated operating capacity of the Telescopic Handler as shown on the load zone charts.

LIFTING ATTACHMENT TOOL APPLICATIONS

For elevated or overhead placement, bring the machine as close as possible to the landing point, and then:

Picking Up the Load Inspect the load. If it appears unstable, DO NOT attempt to move it. DO NOT attempt lifting doubletiered loads, or straddling side-by-side pallets with one on each fork. NEVER add extra unauthorized counterweights to this machine. Consider the additional weight of any attachment tool as part of the picking load capacity of the machine.

WARNING Operating conditions can reduce the machine’s safe operating capacity. Exceeding the capacity when raising or extending the boom will cause the machine to tip forward.

Approach the load slowly and squarely with the machine straight and level. Adjust the space between forks, if necessary. Engage the load equally on both forks until the load touches the carriage backrest. Tilt the forks back to position the load for travel.

Level the machine BEFORE raising the load. Use extreme caution for high placement. Be sure personnel are clear of the area where the load or the machine could fall or tip.

2.

Set the parking brake, hold the service brake pedal fully applied and slowly raise the load, maintaining a slight rearward tilt to cradle the load.

3.

As the load approaches the desired height, feather the boom control at minimum speed until the load is slightly higher than the landing point.

4.

Continuing the feathering technique, lower the load into place.

5.

Free the forks from the load by alternately retracting and raising the boom. If this process is not possible, very slowly and carefully reverse the telescopic handler to free the forks from the load.

6.

Lower the forks to travel height.

Installation of a Personnel Work Platform (PWP)

Carrying the Load

WARNING

If the load obstructs your view, get someone to direct you. Maintain ground speeds consistent with ground conditions and that permit stopping in a safe manner.

The machine must not be used to lift or carry personnel, or be fitted with any form of personnel work platform unless fitted with the optional PWP System.

WARNING

If fitted with the PWP System, the Mandatory Work Platform Safety Rules (p. 12) must be adhered to at all times while lifting personnel.

NEVER travel with the boom above the carry position (attachment tool should be at minimum ground clearance). Boom should be fully retracted.

Use lower gear when traveling down an incline. NEVER coast with the transmission in neutral. Travel up and down grades slowly.

DO NOT operate the machine on a slope or grade that exceeds 22% or 12o.

Elevating Personnel

WARNING

This Telescopic Handler is primarily intended for use as a material handler. It should only be used to elevate personnel if it is equipped with the (optional) PWP System when there is no other practical option. If this machine is to be used to elevate personnel, then use only an approved work platform, lift personnel only with the PWP System activated, and follow the “Mandatory Work Platform Safety Rules” (p. 12, Safety chapter).

The PWP must meet ANSI/ITSDF B56.6-2005, Section 8.24. (See page 13 in the Safety chapter for PWP design requirements.) If the PWP being used does not offer means to secure the PWP to the forks and to secure the forks from pivoting, as shown in steps 2 and 3, then an alternate method must be used.

4.

If this Telescopic Handler is equipped with a PWP System and is to be used for elevating personnel, the system must be activated, by the “PWP System” mode switch, which is located in the instrument and switch panel. To activate the system, apply and hold the service brakes on for three or more seconds, and press the top of the PWP rocker switch. The system is activated when the lamp in the PWP rocker switch is on continously.

For machines with a 42-foot or 44-foot boom: Connect the coiled wire from the remote shutdown switch to the connector on the end of the boom. Secure the remote shutdown switch to the PWP using the strap attached to the switch, as shown below.

When the PWP System is active: z transmission is de-clutched into Neutral z parking brake is applied z rear axle stabilizer cylinder is locked z auxiliary hydraulic and carriage tilt and swing functions are disabled z machine inclination sensor is activated, with the result that the Telescopic Handler must be level laterally (side-to-side) and longitudinally (front-to-back) to within the factory preset limits before the boom control joystick will function z For 42-foot and 44-foot models, the remote shutdown switch is activated, with the result that the switch must be connected and in the “on” position for the boom control joystick to function.

Depressing the switch will disengage the boom control joystick, and stop all platform movement.

The remote shutdown switch box is supplied with a coiled electrical cable that must be connected to the outlet on the front of the innermost boom section near the carriage. The switch must be accessible by the platform personnel any time the platform is to be moved. z

WARNING In an emergency, if the platform worker has activated the remote shut-off switch and then is not able to re-activate the switch, such as if the worker fainted, then the Telescopic Handler operator is permitted to turn off the PWP System to regain control of the boom functions, in order to lower the work platform and come to the aid of the worker. But, understand this is only permitted in case of an emergency. Otherwise, the PWP System must be used at all times when there are workers on the platform. This is the only exception!

Stabilizer System This is an additional safety function while elevating loads for placement. At a pre-determined angle, the stabilizer cylinder on the rear axle will lock up. When this happens, the parking brake is activated. The machine will not be able to move until the boom is lowered below the pre-determined angle.

For 55-foot model, remote shutdown switch is activated, meaning that the switch must be “on” for the boom control joystick to function.

Pressing the red button will disengage the boom control joystick and stop all platform movement.

The remote shutdown switch box is a wireless remote control, so there is no direct connection to the Telescopic Handler. The switch must be accessible to the platform personnel at all times when the platform is to be moved.

WARNING The machine becomes less stable as the load is raised higher.

NEVER use frame leveling to position an elevated load. Always lower the load to the ground and reposition the machine.

To de-activate the system, apply and hold the service brakes on for three or more seconds, and press the bottom of the PWP System rocker switch. The system is de-activated when the lamp in the PWP System rocker switch is off.

If a hydraulic boom circuit hose should break with the boom up, shut down the machine. DO NOT attempt to bring down the boom or make repairs. Call your Gehl dealer immediately.

As lift height increases, depth perception decreases. High elevation placement may require a signal person to guide the operator.

NOTE: If the lamp in the PWP system rocker switch is flashing, apply the service brakes until the lamp goes off.

DO NOT ram the lift cylinders to the end of the stroke. The resulting jolt could spill the load.

A jib or truss boom should ONLY be used to lift and place loads when the machine is stationary and the frame is level. Transporting suspended loads must ALWAYS be done slowly and cautiously, with the boom and load as low as possible. Use taglines to restrict loads from swinging, to avoid overturn.

SUSPENDED LOADS

ROAD TRAVEL

The handling of suspended loads by means of a truss boom or other similar device can introduce dynamic forces affecting the stability of the machine that are not considered in the stability criteria of industry test standards. Grades and sudden starts, stops and turns can cause the load to swing and create a hazard.

For short distance highway travel, attach a SlowMoving Vehicle (SMV) emblem (purchased locally) to the rear of the Telescopic Handler. For highway operation, obtain and install an amber flashing beacon.

NOTE: ALWAYS follow ALL state and local regulations regarding the operation of equipment on or across public highways. Whenever there is an appreciable distance between jobsites, or if driving on public highway is prohibited, transport the machine using a vehicle of appropriate size and capacity.

Guidelines for “Free Rigging / Suspended Loads” 1.

DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the telescopic handler as equipped for handling suspended loads. The weight of the rigging must be included as part of the load.

TRANSPORTING BETWEEN JOBSITES

2.

During transport, the length of the rigging between the attachment and load should be as short as possible to reduce booms height and movement. DO NOT raise the load more than 12 inches (305 mm) above the ground, or raise the boom more than 45 degrees.

ALWAYS abide by the following recommended procedures and guidelines when using ramps to load the machine onto (and unload it from) a truck or trailer.

Failure to heed can result in damage to equipment and serious personal injury or death!

3.

Only lift the load vertically – NEVER drag it horizontally.

Tie-down eyes are provided for inserting chains through to secure the machine during transporte.

4.

Use multiple pickup points on the load when possible. Use taglines to restrain the load from swinging and rotating.

5.

Start, travel, turn and stop SLOWLY to prevent the load from swinging. DO NOT exceed walking speed.

6.

Inspect rigging before use. Rigging must be in good condition and in the U.S. comply with OSHA regulation §1910.184, “Slings,” or §1926.251, “Rigging equipment for material handling.”

7.

Rigging equipment attached to the forks must be secured such that it cannot move either sideways or fore and aft. The load center must not exceed 24 inches (610 mm).

8.

DO NOT lift the load with anyone on the load, rigging or lift equipment, and NEVER lift the load over personnel.

9.

Beware of the wind, which can cause suspended loads to swing, even with taglines.

Block the wheels. Remove the ignition key. Remove only guards or covers necessary to provide needed access. Wipe away excess grease and oil.

WARNING DO NOT smoke or allow any open flames in the area while checking or servicing hydraulic, battery or fuel systems; all contain highly flammable liquids or explosive gases, which can cause an explosion or fire if ignited.

Excessively worn or damaged parts can fail and cause injury or death. Replace any cracked or damaged parts.

Use only genuine Gehl parts for service.

Use care not to damage machined and polished surfaces. Clean or replace all damaged or painted-over plates and decals that cannot be read.

Wear a face shield when disassembling spring-loaded components or working with battery acid. Wear a helmet or goggles with special lenses when welding or cutting with a torch.

WARNING NEVER leave guards off or access doors open when the machine is unattended. Keep bystanders away if access doors are open.

When working beneath a raised machine, always use blocks, jack-stands or other rigid and stable supports. Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, and shoes. Keep feet, clothing, hands and hair away from moving parts.

After servicing, check the work performed, that no parts are left over, etc. Install all guards and covers.

Always wear safety glasses or goggles for eye protection from electric arcs from shorts, fluids under pressure, and flying debris or loose material when the engine is running or tools are used for grinding or pounding.

Service Every 10 Hours or Daily CHECKING FUEL TANK LEVEL The fuel level is shown by the fuel level gauge on the instrument panel. After operation each day, the fuel tank should be filled to prevent water from condensing in the tank. To fill, remove the filler cap and add fuel.

See the Lubrication chapter for the diesel fuel requirements.

NEVER weld on bucket, forks, boom, support frame or ROPS/FOPS without the consent of the manufacturer. These components may be made with metals that require special welding techniques, or with designs that do not allow weld repairs. NEVER cut or weld on fuel lines or tanks.

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL With the machine on level ground, and the engine stopped for ten minutes or more, slide the right side engine panel forward and remove the engine dipstick.

Wipe it clean, re-insert it and remove to obtain a reading. If the oil level is below the crosshatch pattern on the dipstick, fill with the required amount of oil to bring the level to within the crosshatch pattern. Oil levels within the crosshatch are considered full. See the Lubrication chapter for the type of oil to use.

If repair welding is ever required, BE SURE to attach the ground (-) cable from the welder as close as possible to the area to be repaired.

Also, remove battery positive (+) terminal connection before welding.

Choose a clean, level work area. Make sure there is sufficient room, clearances, and adequate ventilation.

Clean the walking and working surfaces. Remove oil, grease and water to eliminate slippery areas. Use sand or oil absorbing compound, as necessary, while servicing the Telescopic Handler.

CHECKING RADIATOR COOLANT LEVEL With the machine on level ground, remove the radiator cap. If the coolant level is below the filler neck, add a low-silicate ethylene glycol based coolant mixed with quality water and supplemental coolant additives (SCAs) suitable for heavy-duty diesel engines. See the engine manual for additional information. Replace the radiator cap securely.

Before starting inspection and repair, move the machine onto a level surface, shut down engine, and release all hydraulic pressure. Always block the boom securely, or lower it to full ground contact. Place all controls in neutral.

913328/BP0211

50

PRINTED IN U.S.A.

NOTE: If the tires have been filled with water or calcium chloride for ballast, a calcium chloride tire pressure gauge MUST be used to check the tire pressure.

WARNING DO NOT remove the radiator cap when the engine is running hot or overheated. Coolant is extremely hot and under pressure and it can burn your skin. Allow sufficient time for the radiator to cool BEFORE relieving the pressure and removing the radiator cap.

To ensure proper load carrying capability, original equipment tires comply with the specifications published in the Tire and Rim Association Yearbook.

Replacement tires MUST meet the same specifications. When replacing tires, be sure all tires are of the same type, quality and load rating, and the same size as the original equipment. When removing tires, follow industry safety practices. Deflate completely prior to removal. After assembly of the tire on the rim, use a safety cage or restraining device while inflating.

NOTE: If the engine is operated with a loose radiator cap, the pressure bypass will not work and the engine will run hot.

CHECKING TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL

WARNING

The machine must be on level ground. With the engine and transmission at operating temperature, parking brake on, transmission in neutral and engine speed at low idle, remove the access cover to the transmission and hydraulic pump. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Add the required amount of oil to bring the level to the FULL mark. See the Lubrication chapter for the type of oil to use.

Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous.

Whenever possible, trained personnel should service and mount tires. To avoid possible death or serious injury, follow the safety precautions below: 1. BE SURE the rim is clean and free of rust.

CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL

2.

The machine must be on level ground with boom lowered and completely retracted. The fluid MUST be cool when checking the reservoir level, to reduce the possibility of overfilling the hydraulic system.

Lubricate both the tire beads and rim flanges with a soap solution. DO NOT use oil or grease.

3.

Visually check the level of the hydraulic oil through the sight gauge located on the right side of the front hood. If low, remove the access cover from the front hood to replenish the oil through the filler cap. See the Lubrication chapter for the type of oil to use.

DO NOT place fingers on the tire bead or rim during inflation. Use a clip-on tire chuck with a remote hose and gauge, which allows standing clear of the tire while inflating it.

4.

NEVER inflate beyond 35 psi (240 kPa) to seat the beads. If the beads have NOT seated by the time the pressure reaches 35 psi (240 kPa), deflate the assembly, reposition the tire on the rim, relubricate both parts and re-inflate. Inflation pressure beyond 35 psi (240 kPa) with unseated beads may break the bead or rim with explosive force sufficient to cause death or serious injury.

5.

After seating the beads, adjust the inflation pressure to the recommended operating pressure listed.

6.

DO NOT weld, braze, or otherwise attempt to repair and use a damaged rim.

IMPORTANT: Be careful when removing the reservoir filler cap so that no dirt or other foreign matter enters the hydraulic system. DO NOT OVERFILL.

CHECKING TIRE PRESSURES To ensure proper operating stability and extend tire life, proper and equal tire pressure should be maintained in all four tires.

Check tire pressures “cold.” Inflate as necessary per the chart below: 14.00 x 24 - 12 PR: 62 psi (430 kPa) 14.00 x 24 - 16 PR: 70 psi (480 kPa) PRINTED IN U.S.A.

CHECKING THE BATTERY

Jump Starting

The battery furnished in the machine is a 12-volt, wetcell battery.

If the battery becomes discharged or does not have enough power to start the engine, use jumper cables and the following procedure to jump-start the engine.

The top of the battery must always be kept clean. Clean the battery with a brush dipped in an alkaline solution (ammonia or baking soda and water). After the foaming has stopped, flush the top of the battery with clean water. If the terminals and cable connection clamps are corroded or have a buildup, disconnect the cables and clean the terminals and clamps with the same alkaline solution.

913328/BP0211

IMPORTANT: BE SURE that the jumper battery is also a 12-volt D. C. battery, and the vehicle used for jump starting has a negative-ground electrical system.

WARNING

6.

The ONLY safe method for jump-starting a discharged battery is for TWO PEOPLE to perform the following procedure. The second person is needed for removing the jumper cables so that the operator does not have to leave the operator’s compartment while the engine is running. NEVER connect the jumper cables directly to the starter solenoid of either engine. DO NOT start the engine from any position other than the operator’s seat, and then ONLY after making sure all controls are in “neutral.”

Allow sufficient time for the alternator to build up a charge in the battery before operating the machine or shutting off the engine.

NOTE: If the battery frequently becomes discharged, have the battery checked for possible dead cell(s), or troubleshoot the electrical system for possible short circuits or damaged wire insulation.

Closely follow the jump-start procedures, in the order listed, to avoid personal injury. In addition, wear safety glasses to protect your eyes, and avoid leaning over the batteries while jump-starting.

CHECKING AND TORQUING BOOM LEAF CHAINS Inspect the leaf chains for proper tension. On the threesection boom, two of the chains are on the top front of the boom. A third chain is accessible from inside the rear of the boom (see three-section boom illustration below).

DO NOT attempt to jump-start the machine if the battery is frozen, because this may cause it to rupture or explode.

1.

2.

Turn the key switches on both vehicles to “OFF.” Be sure that both vehicles are in “Neutral” and NOT touching.

Connect one end of the (black) negative (-) jumper cable to the jumper battery negative (-) terminal.

4.

Make the final negative (-) jumper cable connection to the disabled machine’s engine block or frame (ground) ⎯ NOT to the disabled machines negative battery post. If making the connection to the engine, keep the jumper cable clamp away from the battery, fuel lines, and moving parts.

Torque the three chains on the front of the four-section boom to 50 ft.-lbs. (68 Nm). Lubricate with 80W-90 oil.

IMPORTANT: On the four-section boom, on new machines or when chains have been replaced, it is necessary to retorque the front-center single chain and the front-outer double chains after one hundred (100) hours of operation. Failure to do so may allow the chains to become slack, which can result in a chain jumping off a sheave. If this occurs, it could result in severe damage to the boom assembly.

Front Outer

Slide Pad Detail Visually check for loose pad bolts. The bolts are torqued to 30 ft.-lbs. (40 Nm). If the bolts are retorqued at any time, Loctite® 271 (red) thread lock or equivalent must be re-applied to the bolts.

The retract chains on the 2nd intermediate boom and the inner boom are pre-set at the factory and do not require adjustment, unless they are replaced.

If the boom starts to chatter under load, grease the slide pads and wipe off the excess grease. Maintain a clearance of 1/16” between the top or side slide pads and the boom. Shims can be added to achieve the proper clearance. Loosen the bolts and insert shims until proper clearance is obtained.

Inspect the leaf chains for wear. Run the boom out slowly to inspect. Conditions to look for include: cracked or broken plates, protruding or turned pins, and excessive wear. With a steel tape, measure 16 links of the strand that flexes over the sheaves. If the section measures 12.375” (314 mm) or more, the chain should be replaced. DO NOT repair sections of a chain.

Replace the complete chain.

NOTE: When inserting shims in the side slide pads, be sure to place equal shims on both sides of the boom for even distribution of clearance.

Chain anchors and sheaves also require inspection, for worn or broken fingers and worn flanges.

Re-apply Loctite® 271 (red) thread lock or equivalent to the bolts and re-torque to 30 ft.-lbs. (40 Nm).

Bottom slide pads should not be shimmed and should be replaced when the thickness is worn down to 3/8” (9.5 mm).

After any chain has been replaced, operate under loaded conditions and re-check the torque. Adjust the chains per the following procedure: Extend the boom to its maximum length, then retract the boom slowly until the chain slack allows the chain to rest on the top of the boom. Torque the two chains on the front of the three-section boom to 30 ft.-lbs. (40 Nm) and the three chains on the front of the four-section boom to 50 ft.lbs. (68 Nm). Lubricate with 80W-90 oil.

Chapter 10 MAINTENANCE This Maintenance Interval Chart was developed to match the Service and Storage chapter of this manual. Detailed information on each Service Procedure is in the Service and Storage chapter. A Maintenance Log follows the Maintenance Interval Chart for recording the maintenance procedures performed. Recording the 10 Hour (or Daily) service intervals is impractical and is therefore not recommended.

IMPORTANT: Under severe operating conditions, more frequent service than the recommended intervals may be required. Users must decide if the severity of their operation requires more frequent service than normal.

ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs) Engine diagnostic trouble codes are displayed in the instrument display panel.

The FMI indentifies the type of failure that has occurred; for example, FMI 03 indicates a value above normal. Combining SPN 000110 with FMI 03 means the engine coolant temperature input voltage is too high.

Stored and active diagnostic trouble codes are displayed as a two-part code: Suspect Parameter Number (SPN) and Failure Mode Identifier (FMI), as shown on the following table.

Always contact your servicing engine dealer for help in correcting the diagnostic trouble codes that are displayed for the engine.

The first part is a six-digit Suspect Parameter Number (SPN) followed by a two-digit Failure Mode Identifier (FMI). To determine the exact type of failure, both parts (SPN and FMI) of the code are needed.

The fault code listing in the following tables are in ascending SPN/FMI codes.

The SPN indentifies the system or the component that has the failure; for example, SPN 000110 indicates a failure in the engine coolant temperature circuit.

NOTE: Not all of these codes are used on all engine applications.

NOTE: If corrective actions below do not solve the engine fault, contact your servicing engine dealer.
